Cassandra Trigger Example:
==========================

The AuditTrigger class will create a basic audit of
activity on a table.

Installation:
============
change directory to <cassandra_src_dir>/examples/triggers
run "ant jar"
Copy build/trigger-example.jar to <cassandra_conf>/triggers/
Copy conf/* to <cassandra_home>/conf/

Create the keyspace and table configured in AuditTrigger.properties:
    CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH REPLICATION =
        { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : '1' };
    CREATE TABLE test.audit (key timeuuid, keyspace_name text,
        table_name text, primary_key text, PRIMARY KEY(key));

Create a table to add the trigger to:
    CREATE TABLE test.test (key text, value text, PRIMARY KEY(key));
    Note: The example currently only handles non-composite partition keys

Configure the trigger on the table:
    CREATE TRIGGER test1 ON test.test
        USING 'org.apache.cassandra.triggers.AuditTrigger';

Start inserting data to the table that has the trigger. For each
partition added to the table an entry should appear in the 'audit' table:
    INSERT INTO test.test (key, value) values ('1', '1');
    SELECT * FROM test.audit;

    key                                  | keyspace_name | primary_key | table_name
